For all of you Ice Pilots TV show fans, the first episode of season 5 is
scheduled to have some of an ARISS contact that occurred a few months back.
Depending on where you are located, the times and cable TV providers may
change.
History Channel is airing the show for the first time Wednesday October 23
at 22:00 EDT or Thursday October 24 at 02:00 UTC.
Below are several on-line links to where you can watch it:

If you are in Australia, apparently the History Channel is available via
Pay-TV.
Below is word from Canadian ARISS mentor Steve McFarlane VE3TBD about this:
Wednesday Oct 23, 2013 – Season Premiere of Reality TV Show Ice Pilots
will feature the ARISS program – Amateur Radio on The International Space
Station.
I/we do not know the full details of what will be included in this episode
but we understand a Radio contact with Chris Hadfield will be shown that
involves the Canadian mentors that undertake and support these events all
across Canada.
This team, are made up of Teacher Lori McFarlane, technical coordination
Claude Lacasse and program mentor Steve McFarlane VE3TBD all located in
Ottawa but were on site during this contact from Hay river. Remotely located
but very much a part of this event include Teacher Mentor Brian Jackson
VE6JBJ in Calgary and fellow Canadian mentor Wayne Harasimovitch VE1WPH located
in Halifax.
As mentioned, exact content of the show is not known but we do know a
production team from Omni productions recorded the entire presentation and
event at the Hay River Public School near Yellowknife. As well, Omni
productions did receive the entire video from the ISS showing Chris Hadfield an
swering questions during the same event. Other video including setup, meeting the
show “stars” etc., was recorded but again, we are not certain of the
inclusions on the show.
All audio during the event was made available and Omni productions have a
copy of that – this includes the Telebridge track.
All we can hope is that ARISS is well represented and the program receives
some well-deserved recognition. I was alerted that this is a reality TV
show and almost anything can be broadcast. We are at the mercy of the
producers and editors of the show – as they indicated to us – this is about
Buffalo Airlines. My final comment to the producer, this show and the space
program are linked in ways that are sometimes difficult to understand but it is
clear that early aviation pioneers from all over the world, which Buffalo
epitomizes, led to what we know today as the Space Program – ARISS is about
making our youth believe anything is possible so when they say this is
about Buffalo Airlines what they are really saying, this is about how we
started our journey to the stars.
History Channel is showing for the first time Wednesday October 23 at
22:00hrs. This is the 5th season of ice pilots and I understand some of you may
only be on season 4 at this point. Within a few days, it might be
available elsewhere.

ARISS is requesting listener reports for the above contacts. Due to
issues with the Kenwood radio that are not fully understood at present, the
Ericsson radio is going to be used for these contacts. ARISS thanks everyone
in advance for their assistance. Feel free to send your reports to
aj9n@amsat.org or aj9n@aol.com.

US Hams, don’t forget that there is a new process for US school proposals.
For US schools to have an ARISS contact, they must fill out a proposal,
submit it to NASA, and see if they are approved or not. Once a school is
approved and put on the list, an ARISS mentor will be assigned to assist the
school.
NASA will have two open windows a year for schools to submit a proposal.
The window for contacts during the second half of 2012 has already closed.
Look for the window for first half 2013 contacts later this year. You
must go through NASA to get the proposal material. Contact Teaching From
Space, a NASA Education office, at JSC-TFS-ARISS@mail.nasa.gov or by calling
them at (281) 244-2320.
The following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact:
Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont,
West Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands,
and the Virgin Islands.
